Here's the recipe: Pumpkin Pancakes
This recipe was straightforward simple, the perfect batch size, and delicious. Of course you could be traditional and serve them with maple syrup, but I preferred to go the pumpkin dip route. Which was a great call. And since you're making pumpkin dip, you may as well make molasses cookies. This recipe is perfection, of course, because it's Laura's. So good, guys. So good.
The real reason I brought you here today was because I wanted to share some quotes from the past few days, but I realized I hadn't finished pumpkin week (do you realize I started it 3 weeks ago?!) and I have this weird things where I don't let myself do something else until I have finished one thing. I know that this might make me sound disciplined or something, but really I just never get around to finishing what I was doing... and I don't do anything else either. Also, it has led to a lot of leg crossing, when I use a bathroom break as my reward for finishing a project. Really, I could focus a lot more and finish the project if I would just go to the bathroom when I first need to, but for some reason I voluntarily torture myself.
Too much information? Sorry. Rest assured this was not my incentive to finish Pumpkin Week....that would be painful.

Saturday I was hanging out with my friends Kaden (6) and Jordyn (2), and Jordyn looked over at me and said
"My Daddy...is my Daddy."
(You know, because sometimes I get confused and think her Daddy is my Daddy.)
"Yep, Jordyn! That's right. My Daddy is my Daddy, too."
(Confused look from Jordyn)
"Where is your Daddy?"
"My Daddy is far away...he's in Ohio."

Yesterday we were practicing our skit for our mission trip to Honduras. Sam has a role where he is supposed to be chasing someone, and he's supposed to be dark and menacing. The trouble is, he's anything but and he runs in a hopping/leaping fashion (at least when he's acting). We were telling him he needed to look much scarier, and that he looked like the Easter Bunny.
Sam: Well, I've never seen the Easter Bunny, so I didn't know I looked like him.
Me: Well I have, and trust me... you're twins.
Sam: (with a smirk) "Well then, he must be a pretty good-looking bunny."
I wanted to say "Yeah, but his ears are smaller than yours." But I thought that would be taking things too far.
Pray for us...

Today at work, our HR director (who works across the hall) had her door shut because she was trying to get benefit enrollments finished up. She came out for air and told me and Mindy..."That's it! We're no longer offering benefits! I can't take it." She went downstairs and came back up a little later. "Ok, there was chocolate downstairs... we can have benefits for at least another year." Maybe if I bring her cookies I can get a raise?
Well, that's it for pumpkin week. Sorry it dragged our for so long, but you really should try the recipes. I hope your holiday season is merry and bright so far!.
